“The Climate Skeptic Podcast | Episode 49” – On the show this week, I sit down with Catherine McBride OBE – economist, former derivatives trader and co-author of the hard-hitting new paper ‘Premeditated Industrial Destruction?’ – to discuss how Net Zero policies have wrecked British industry, why North Sea oil and gas were the unsung heroes of Thatcher’s economic miracle (and could be again), the myth of “international gas markets”, and why reviving domestic energy production is the only way to bring down prices and rebuild the economy.
